Perhaps  from  out  the  thousands  passing  b}^— 
The  Citys  hopeless  lotos^eaters  these. 
Blown  by  the  four  winds  of  the  seven  seas 

From  common  want  to  common  company^ 

Perhaps  someone  may  lift  a  heavy  eye 

And  see,  dream-hlown  across  his  memories. 
Those  golden  pennons  bellying  in  the  breeze 

And  spread  for  ports  where  fair  adventures  lie.

And  O !  that  such  a  one  may  stay  a  space 
And  taste  of  sympathy,  till  to  his  ears 

Might  come  the  tale  of  him  who  l^ew  the  grace 
To  suffer  sweetly  through  the  bitter  years; 

To  catch  the  smile  concealed  in  Fortunes  face 
And  draw  contentment  from  a  cup  of  tears!
